Have you tried squishing your baby’s face? It’d be adorable, we promise!

Squeezing your baby’s face with your hands to make them look like rice balls. Yep, that’s the new trend that Japan is following. Having invented strange things like an eye drop funnel and head cap toilet paper roll, Japan has found something new this time.

Called as the the #RiceBallBaby challenge, dads across Japan are squeezing their baby’s face to make them look like huge rice balls.

How did this come into existence? Well, a bored dad posted a picture of him squeezing his baby’s face on Twitter and tagged it with #RiceBallBaby. The baby looked cute to say the least and that is where this hashtag took off.

There are many dads out there in Japan who are doing it and the trend is now starting to catch up outside Japan as well.

Some people even tried doing it with their pets and other grown up humans but the results were not that cute. hence, people stuck to babies only!

All the new dads out there must really be itching to try this with their baby and it won’t be long before this trend catches up in India too.
